Abstract
Females of Anopheles minimus Theobald at a site in northern Thailand that were caught on man or domestic bovids and were released showed a significant tendency to return to the type of host upon which they were first caught (P = 0·03). From a total of 3526 individuals marked and released, 51 were recaptured. A simple explanation is that the taxon is in fact a mixture of two or more morphologically cryptic species, a suggestion already indicated by previous studies.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
